Missouri state Rep. Brian Seitz introduced a bill in the state House that would ban the termination of ectopic pregnancies.
These pregnancies, which occur when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tube, can be life-threatening for the pregnant person if left untreated, and the fetus can't survive being carried to term, according to Mayo Clinic.
The bill, if passed into law, would make performing, inducing or attempting to perform or induce an abortion for such a pregnancy a class A felony. Insider reported that such a charge could carry a sentence of up to 30 years in prison.
(The fetus can't survive and there is a good chance the woman will die as well. I fail to see how this is "pro-life". It is pretty clear that this law is about controlling women.)
